Lubrivisc Drops

Lubrivisc Drops

Description:

Lubrivisc 0.1% eye drops 10 ml is a sterile ophthalmic lubricant containing sodium hyaluronate, designed to relieve symptoms of dry eye and ocular irritation. As a viscoelastic tear substitute, it forms a protective, long-lasting moisturizing film over the eye surface, improving comfort and stabilizing the tear film. It is classified as an eye lubricant/tear replacement medicine used to support eye health and comfort in conditions associated with dryness, burning, foreign body sensation, or environmental stress.

Indications:

• Relief of dry eye symptoms such as burning, stinging, itching, and foreign body sensation.
• Lubrication of the ocular surface in cases of reduced tear production or poor tear quality.
• Supportive treatment for eye irritation caused by wind, smoke, air conditioning, prolonged screen use, or environmental factors.
• Improvement of eye comfort in contact lens wearers (if recommended by an eye care professional).
• Post-ophthalmic procedure lubrication as advised by a doctor to protect and hydrate the corneal surface.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Sodium hyaluronate 0.1% (1 mg/ml) – a high molecular weight viscoelastic polymer that acts as a tear substitute and ocular surface lubricant.
• Other excipients: Information on full inactive ingredient list (e.g. buffers, stabilizers, preservatives or preservative-free system) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the product packaging or leaflet for complete composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended dose (adults and elderly): Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) as needed, usually 2–3 times daily or as directed by your ophthalmologist or pharmacist.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Shake the bottle gently if instructed on the pack. Remove the cap without touching the dropper tip.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and hold the bottle above the eye without touching the eye or eyelashes.
• Squeeze one drop into the conjunctival sac, then close your eye gently for a few seconds and blink several times to spread the solution evenly.
• If using more than one eye drop product, leave at least 5–10 minutes between different medications; use Lubrivisc last if it is a lubricant unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
• If you wear contact lenses, follow your eye care professional’s advice. Many sodium hyaluronate lubricants are used with lenses, but you should confirm whether Lubrivisc is suitable with your specific lens type and whether lenses should be removed before instillation.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to avoid contamination.
• Use only in the eyes. Do not ingest.
• Duration of use: Can be used for short- or longer-term relief of dry eye symptoms as recommended by your healthcare provider. If symptoms persist or worsen after a few days, consult an eye specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides long-lasting lubrication of the ocular surface, helping to relieve dryness and discomfort.
• Stabilizes and supplements the natural tear film, improving eye moisture and visual comfort.
• Helps protect the corneal epithelium by forming a viscoelastic, protective layer over the eye.
• Reduces symptoms such as burning, stinging, grittiness, and foreign body sensation associated with dry eye.
• Supports eye comfort during prolonged screen use, reading, driving, or exposure to air conditioning and environmental irritants.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For ophthalmic use only. Do not inject or swallow.

• If you experience persistent eye pain, changes in vision, continued redness, or irritation of the eye, discontinue use and consult an ophthalmologist.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have severe eye disease, have recently undergone eye surgery, or are using other prescription eye medications.

• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications or have systemic medical conditions that may affect eye health.
